A worker at a Catholic school in Revere has been placed on leave, and the parish pastor and two school employees have resigned after failing to promptly report possible indecent exposure by the worker in a boys bathroom, the Archdiocese of Boston said.

The archdiocese said in a statement on Tuesday that three incidents of “potential indecent exposure” occurred in a bathroom intended for the exclusive use of students at the Immaculate Conception School over the last month and a half, during regular school hours.

The pastor, principal, and one teacher at the school, which serves students in prekindergarten through Grade 8, have resigned their positions for failing to “report these possible incidents in a timely manner,” church officials said.

Terrence C. Donilon, a spokesman for the archdiocese, declined to identify the suspended worker or the employees who resigned. He also would not say what job the suspended employee performs.

The pastor and principal are identified on the parish and school websites as the Rev. George Szal and Alison Kelly. They could not be reached for comment.
